So far we've been having a fun summer. We go to the movies every Friday for this kid program that Harkins does for the kids. We go to the library, the pool, and the pet store. We saw Shrek Forever After, because Naomi loves the Shrek movies.

We went to Jeepers with a bunch of ward friends.

Naomi's sitting on the back row, far side with her friends.

Last week, Naomi started swim lessons. She's doing so good. The teacher is great with the kids and Naomi loves going under water now.

Her teacher tells her to pretend she's Sleeping Beauty when she wants her to practice floating on her back.

Last week, we also went to Tempe Beach Park with a group of friends. Naomi had so much fun.That's what we've been up to so far. We look forward to more summer fun!

So I've been growing out my hair for 4 years now. It was long, dry, stringy, and hard to comb. So I decided it was time for a change.

Before

After

I cut off eight inches and dyed it blonder than it was. I haven't been this blonde since I met Cory. I thought about going shorter, but I'm a ponytail kind of girl, so I needed it long enough that I could still pull it back.

The other day I needed to run something over to our next door neighbor. Naomi was busy watching a movie and I asked her if she wanted to come, she said she wanted to watch her movie. So I told her I would be next door and be gone only a minute. As I'm knocking on my neighbor's door I hear Naomi crying in the house, so I go back home to find the door locked. I have no keys, no phone, and the truck so Cory can't even come home and save me. Naomi is panicking and crying, so I'm trying not to panic.

Me: Naomi turn the lock, you need to unlock the doorNaomi: I can't (crying so hard :( )Me: You have to unlock the door, you need to unlock the doorNaomi: You unlock the door (with attitude)

She's so sassy, I couldn't believe that was her response. So moral of the story, don't leave home without the keys. And yes Naomi finally let me back in.

Last night during dinner, Naomi told me she wanted an popsicle and to play outside. I told her that once she finished her dinner she could.

Naomi: I can't eat this. I want a popsicle.Me: You can have a popsicle when you finish your chicken.Naomi: But I want to go outside.Me: Once you finish your chicken you can go outside.(This went back and forth for a while, as I was finishing my dinner)Naomi: I want a popsicle and to play outside.Me: You can't until your chicken is gone. (I show her my empty plate) I can have a popsicle and go outside because I finished my dinner. But you can't until you've eaten your dinner.Naomi: Good job Mommy! You ate all your dinner.

About Us

It all started over a game of "Animal" in May of 2005. After a summer of friendship, we fell in love and got married in March 2006 in the Timpanogos Temple. Naomi blessed our lives a year and a month later. In December 2008, we graduated from BYU and shortly thereafter moved down to sunny Arizona. Our family grew in 2011 with the addition of Jaxon. And we grew by one more with the addition of Marley Jo in 2013. We're loving life and enjoying our poolside view here in AZ.
